Spatial management policies in the community of Tomice in the context of development directions of investment areas

Abstract

Summary The fundaments for sustainable development are constitute by spatial management policies expressed in the study of conditions and directions of spatial management as well as in the local spatial management plan. Polish agricultural lands are more often reclassified as non-agricultural areas. For example, this is confirmed by statistical data from the Polish Central Statistical Office. Also, there is an increasing number of non-agricultural and non-forest areas in spatial management studies. Ensuring access to technical infrastructure is an important argument in favour for development of investment areas. This article analyses, land zoning patterns in the community of Tomice, with particular consideration to investment areas. This paper also takes a close look at local spatial management policies and discusses the location of investment areas in the context of their access to utilities network. The article applies geoprocessing methods, including geometric and spatial analysis of selected basic evaluation fields.
